What surgeries did you all have?

I did wonder, what surgeries did you all have, I will start myself.....

As a kid I had tonsillectomy, or easer said they removed my tonsils. I was I believe 2 or so, I can't remember it at all.

Then on a later age I had a varicose vain removed in my bottom abdomen. That was done with a spinal tap.

I also had my gall bladder removed, this was the second time I went under... It was an emergency surgery. And I had no time to be worried.

about 7 years ago I cut of the tip of an indexfinger, I had surgery to place it back on. It was with local anaesthesia and I was awake during the procedure. The finger is fully functioning.

Then 4 years ago I had surgery for an inguinal hernia, I was put under for that surgery. And I was more worried about the anesthesia then I was about the surgery it self.

What are your surgeries? Hope to hear.

I had a vasectomy when I was in my 40s. It was done under a local and I was rather disappointed to not be able to see what was going on.

In my late teens I sat on a glass and badly cut my left buttock. I went to my casualty room / ER to have the would cleaned of glass and the muscle tissue stitched back together. A couple of years later I had to have another op to remove a piece of glass that had been missed and that had subsequently worked its way up to the surface. Evidently I should have had an x-ray the first time round to see what was in the wound.

That’s it so far.

At around 5 I had a tonsillectomy and removal of my polyps

Then no surgery until 2021 when I did have a bypass (1) surgery, and about a year later, I had 1 adrenal gland removed because of suspicion of pheochromocytoma.

🏥 I've only ever had one surgery in my entire life, and that was for an inguinal hernia. Since there are several surgical procedures, I consulted with several surgeons beforehand.

ℹ️🧐 A hernia is an unstable area in the tissue, not to be confused with a bone fracture. Fortunately, a hernia is *not* painful and usually not dangerous. And the groin is, well, right above the penis, in the middle of the pubic hair area. So, at every examination, you have to show your genitals completely. That's CFNM (or CMNM) in real life. 😬 Even during an ultrasound, everything essential is completely exposed! Anyone who's attracted to white erotica 🤭 might find it a bit difficult to control all their bodily reactions under these circumstances. I'm young, slim, and athletic, and I get aroused easily.

Because I wanted to present myself in the best possible light to the doctor — after all, I was also showing him a very private side of myself — I went to a sauna before the initial examination and was always fresh and clean. I also shave completely, so my little friend is exposed like a baby's. 🚼 I saw a total of three surgeons, and my wife accompanied me to the initial examinations twice. The examination of the small bulge while standing with my pants down and the ultrasound while lying down, nude from the waist, are quite pleasant. Remember, a hernia is painless and usually no emergency. But there's so much attention and everything is done naked. 👨‍⚕️👩‍⚕️🤩 With a doctor (all of mine were male) and my wife present.

🌇🏥 The actual surgery then took place in a specialized clinic in our capital city. We had a nice room for three patients. It's unavoidable that you see your fellow patients partially naked during preparations. The open-back surgical gowns don't really hide anything. Because the surgical area is the pubic region, you can't wear surgical underwear. So it's just the open-back gown. I've never seen so many cute male butts. 🤭 But I don't mind if someone looks at mine…

🧾🤣 The instructions for pre-operative care stated that for “hygienic reasons“, you should *not* shave your genital area before the operation. Strange, but I actually let everything grow for two weeks. Very unusual. The nurse then came right before the operation with an ancient, cheap electric razor and shaved off the little pubic hairs. It felt great, though I would have liked her to do a more intense job. But I still don't understand why this old, cheap razor was supposed to be better (and more hygienic) than the one I have at home. 🪒🤣🤣

🛌🥼 During the operation itself, the entire genital area is completely naked and exposed the whole time: that's exactly where the surgery is performed. However, a drape is stretched between the surgical area and the patient's head as a privacy screen. So *ME* was the only one who couldn't see my own little friend, while everything was on full display for everyone else. I hope my little friend behaved himself — I unfortunately have no memory of that.

🎯🏁 After the operation, I had a big worry: the spermatic cord is carefully tied aside during the operation and absolutely must not be damaged. I already have children and would like to have more. Very, very rarely, complications can occur, and the vas deferens can be damaged. 😱 Ejaculation after the operation can also be painful. 😱😱 I was very worried and have never gone so long without ejaculation since puberty: a whole three months! 😱😱😱

Everything went perfectly, the surgery was successful, and everything is working. 🙏😅

PS: I had an open Shouldice procedure without a mesh and only with sedation (no general anesthesia). This is also how it's performed at the Shouldice Hospital (Toronto). Anyone interested in more detailed information is welcome to contact me.

The only actual surgery I’ve had was a circumcision when I was 6 years old. To be honest, it was a pretty traumatic experience at the time, lol! Looking back, it’s definitely one of those defining early clinical memories.

Aside from that, I haven't had other traditional surgeries, but I did have a procedural experience in a full operating room environment: a spinal facet joint block to manage pain from a herniated disc.

Even though it wasn't an open surgery, being prepped and taken into the OR for an injection directly into the spine definitely gave me a taste of that intense, precise clinical setting.

I had a tonsillectomy when I was 11 and ear tubs when I was 5

8 hernia, appendectomy, laparotomy, left ankle tarsel tunnel release, right knee hematoma removal, skin cancer on face, back, right shoulder.

Approximately 20 surgeries for spina bifida and its common comorbidity hydrocephalus. So, brain, spine, legs, and heels. All completed between about three days old and 16 years old. I'm 50 now.

Late 2011 had a surgery on my back to remove melanoma then they realized that the melanoma was a different location so jad another surgery about 2 months between the 2

July 2025 had a tumor (cancer) on my right cheek after that had 30 radiation treatments

@big55555 Was the initial surgery to remove the melanoma on your back a “wrong site” surgery? Usually they’re pretty careful about that but it does happen

My only surgery was a total ankle replacement. Fortunately, the did the correct ankle. Still working 12 years later!

I've been very lucky, I've only had two surgeries so far.

My first was my routine infant circumcision, very common in the United States.

My second was a carpal tunnel surgery on my right wrist in my mid 30's. Too many years spent in front of a computer, I assume.

Circumcision, at birth. GA to have a peanut removed from my nose at 5. Tonsils out at 6. 2 teeth out at 8. Nothing in adulthood

This may be one of the things I remember.

Age 6,routinely t and a

8 deep incision under ga for infected r thumb

9 emergency appendicitis with peritoneal infection , ga 2 weeks hospital and many penicillin shots

22 vasectomy under ga

34 reversal of vas under ga. 2 kids now amazing.

62 cystoscope under ga

64 replace r shoulder ga and spinal

66 turp ga

Since the no surgery but many op visits, iv for abx, care post C2 fracture, wound care x3

And I haven’t had to pay a cent..

A seasoned patient and 25 years of ER and ICU social work On and after hours on call.

I think I have seen and experienced more than my share of medical mayhem and trauma

I only had skin mole removal on my back so far. Procedure took very little time and I did not feel a thing, actually doctor told me you can go now, it's all done... I could not believe it how quick it was completed. In a week I returned so stitches would be removed.

Eye surgeries, lower body hernia , splenectomy

I had a testicle which was strangulated upon descent which was removed a couple days after birth. I was circumcised at the same time. Later, I had wisdom teeth removed as a teenager.

Circumcision as a boy that was the beginning of my medical fetish, more recently wisdom teeth taken out under general anaesthetic in hospital, and inpatient recovery, which was an enjoyable experience despite the pain

Only LASIK. I know it's pretty boring, but it's pretty damn amazing.

For me it's just some teeth removed when I was young, I've been very lucky, which is a good job, as I've got a thing for dental chairs and dental visits now, god knows how I'd be if I'd had anything more serious done lol❤️

When I was under 4 I had a "lazy eye" fixed. I don't remember it except because of pictures with a patch over my eye and my parents telling me.

Then in October of 2023 I had a plate put on my broken radius of my left arm. It broke in a very diagonal manner. It was the best way to hope it healed strong. So far, so good. The least bothersome of all of my broken bones that rather eventful day.

Well, in my case, I had a tonsillectomy at 5 years old. They grew back so I had a second tonsillectomy at 7 years old. Over the years, I have had many many teeth removed as well as root canals. The most significant surgery was when I had both of my knees surgically replaced over 8 years ago (age 68 ).

Many years ago I had cellulitis in my right arm. They cut into my elbow when I was under anesthesia to drain it. More recently, I had a laparoscopic cholecystectomy and a laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair, but both were elective. For the hernia repair they shaved my lower belly but not my groin or genitals. Since it was laparoscopic they inserted a Foley while I was unconscious and removed it before I came to. But the recovery nurse did not know that and demanded that I pee which I could not do because I had been catheterized. She threatened to catheterize me again but found an ultrasound technician to determine that my bladder was empty. I'm sure there are situations in which I would enjoy being catheterized, but that was not one of them. I've also had a number of colonoscopies. Several of them involved the removal of polyps. Also had an esophageal endoscopy to make sure I did not have Barrett's esophagitis. All the endoscopies were under general anesthesia except the very first colonoscopy, in which I was sedated but later anesthetized.

I've only had wisdom teeth surgery at 17 (all four) and more recently the 2 c sections. I was awake for all.

Luckily, I was able to "save" most of my surgeries until later life and when I was nearing retirement from my professional career. For about 18 months, I was having a surgery or procedure every 4-5 months.

- Endoscopy with conscious sedation to confirm Gallbladder problems in August of 2013.

- Laproscopic Cholecystectomy to get rid of Gallbladder causing problems in October of 2013.

- Half mouth (the worst side) 3rd Molar Removal Oral Surgery inc. additional molar removals, and PRP mandible bone grafts. All caused by severely impacted Wisdom Teeth impacted into the jaw bone and laying right along the AV nerve. These needed to be delt with before I could have hip replacement surgery. 3.5 hours in an operating room with general anesthesia/nasal intubation (the oral surgeon really wanted to take his time and didn't want me to move a muscle because of the wisdom teeth involvement with the AVN. April of 2014.

- Full Total Hip Arthroplasty (Hip replacement) DAA procedure. August of 2014.

- Other half mouth (the not so worse side) 3rd Molar Removal Oral Surgery inc. additional molar removals, and PRP mandible bone grafts. About 2.0 hours in the operating room this time with general anesthesia once again. April of 2015.
